[ Upstream commit 708e0ada1916be765b7faa58854062f2bc620bbf ]

In setup_load_info(), info-&gt;name (which contains the name of the module,
mostly used for early logging purposes before the module gets set up)
gets unconditionally assigned if .modinfo is missing despite the fact
that there is an if (!info-&gt;name) check near the end of the function.
Avoid assigning a placeholder string to info-&gt;name if .modinfo doesn't
exist, so that we can fall back to info-&gt;mod-&gt;name later on.

Fixes: 5fdc7db6448a ("module: setup load info before module_sig_check()")

<title>kernel/module.c: wakeup processes in module_wq on module unload</title>

[ Upstream commit 5d603311615f612320bb77bd2a82553ef1ced5b7 ]

Fix the race between load and unload a kernel module.

sys_delete_module()
 try_stop_module()
  mod-&gt;state = _GOING
					add_unformed_module()
					 old = find_module_all()
					 (old-&gt;state == _GOING =&gt;
					  wait_event_interruptible())

					 During pre-condition
					 finished_loading() rets 0
					 schedule()
					 (never gets waken up later)
 free_module()
  mod-&gt;state = _UNFORMED
   list_del_rcu(&amp;mod-&gt;list)
   (dels mod from "modules" list)

return

The race above leads to modprobe hanging forever on loading
a module.

Error paths on loading module call wake_up_all(&amp;module_wq) after
freeing module, so let's do the same on straight module unload.

commit 93651f80dcb616b8c9115cdafc8e57a781af22d0 upstream.

If CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_STRICT_MODULE_RWX is not defined,
we need stub for module_enable_nx() and module_enable_x().

If CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_STRICT_MODULE_RWX is defined, but
CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX is disabled, we need stub for
module_enable_nx.

Move frob_text() outside of the CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX,
because it is needed anyway.

[ Upstream commit 38f054d549a869f22a02224cd276a27bf14b6171 ]

Some arches (e.g., arm64, x86) have moved towards non-executable
module_alloc() allocations for security hardening reasons. That means
that the module loader will need to set the text section of a module to
executable, regardless of whether or not CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX is set.

When CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX=y, module section allocations are always
page-aligned to handle memory rwx permissions. On some arches with
CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX=n however, when setting the module text to
executable, the BUG_ON() in frob_text() gets triggered since module
section allocations are not page-aligned when CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX=n.
Since the set_memory_* API works with pages, and since we need to call
set_memory_x() regardless of whether CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX is set, we
might as well page-align all module section allocations for ease of
managing rwx permissions of module sections (text, rodata, etc).

<title>kernel/module.c: Only return -EEXIST for modules that have finished loading</title>

[ Upstream commit 6e6de3dee51a439f76eb73c22ae2ffd2c9384712 ]

Microsoft HyperV disables the X86_FEATURE_SMCA bit on AMD systems, and
linux guests boot with repeated errors:

amd64_edac_mod: Unknown symbol amd_unregister_ecc_decoder (err -2)
amd64_edac_mod: Unknown symbol amd_register_ecc_decoder (err -2)
amd64_edac_mod: Unknown symbol amd_report_gart_errors (err -2)
amd64_edac_mod: Unknown symbol amd_unregister_ecc_decoder (err -2)
amd64_edac_mod: Unknown symbol amd_register_ecc_decoder (err -2)
amd64_edac_mod: Unknown symbol amd_report_gart_errors (err -2)

The warnings occur because the module code erroneously returns -EEXIST
for modules that have failed to load and are in the process of being
removed from the module list.

module amd64_edac_mod has a dependency on module edac_mce_amd.  Using
modules.dep, systemd will load edac_mce_amd for every request of
amd64_edac_mod.  When the edac_mce_amd module loads, the module has
state MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED and once the module load fails and the state
becomes MODULE_STATE_GOING.  Another request for edac_mce_amd module
executes and add_unformed_module() will erroneously return -EEXIST even
though the previous instance of edac_mce_amd has MODULE_STATE_GOING.
Upon receiving -EEXIST, systemd attempts to load amd64_edac_mod, which
fails because of unknown symbols from edac_mce_amd.

add_unformed_module() must wait to return for any case other than
MODULE_STATE_LIVE to prevent a race between multiple loads of
dependent modules.

<title>jump_label: move 'asm goto' support test to Kconfig</title>

commit e9666d10a5677a494260d60d1fa0b73cc7646eb3 upstream.

Currently, CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL just means "I _want_ to use jump label".

The jump label is controlled by HAVE_JUMP_LABEL, which is defined
like this:

  #if defined(CC_HAVE_ASM_GOTO) &amp;&amp; defined(CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL)
  # define HAVE_JUMP_LABEL
  #endif

We can improve this by testing 'asm goto' support in Kconfig, then
make JUMP_LABEL depend on CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO.

Ugly #ifdef HAVE_JUMP_LABEL will go away, and CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL will
match to the real kernel capability.

<title>x86/modules: Avoid breaking W^X while loading modules</title>

[ Upstream commit f2c65fb3221adc6b73b0549fc7ba892022db9797 ]

When modules and BPF filters are loaded, there is a time window in
which some memory is both writable and executable. An attacker that has
already found another vulnerability (e.g., a dangling pointer) might be
able to exploit this behavior to overwrite kernel code. Prevent having
writable executable PTEs in this stage.

In addition, avoiding having W+X mappings can also slightly simplify the
patching of modules code on initialization (e.g., by alternatives and
static-key), as would be done in the next patch. This was actually the
main motivation for this patch.

To avoid having W+X mappings, set them initially as RW (NX) and after
they are set as RO set them as X as well. Setting them as executable is
done as a separate step to avoid one core in which the old PTE is cached
(hence writable), and another which sees the updated PTE (executable),
which would break the W^X protection.
